I agree that she may have meant it as a compliment- some people over dramatize things in the way she did. I also find that it makes people uncomfortable to think you can be smaller than them at some point in time and they are sometimes jealous you have a tool they don't have. It's not an easy journey but it will never be one they will understand unless they have the surgery.
I have lost 150 lbs and find that no one ever said "Wow- your fat!" but won't hasitate to say stuff about you losing too much weight. I'm glad that it has been so long now that I usually don't have to tell people anymore- 4 years.
5 years and goal reached later with a promotion with another employer and you won't have to deal with people like her!
Just keep doing what you are doing and concentrate on your goal- and silence - I mean complete silence to the person who made the comment sometimes works wonders!
